The Complete Contracts Manual for CoachesThe ONLY publication that addresses contracts issues for the Life, Business and Corporate Coach!Dear Coach,“The Complete Contracts Manual for Coaches” walks you through, step-by-step, what needs to be included in your coaching contracts.There are several myths about coaches using contracts in their business – have you ever said or thought any of these?

“I don’t need to use contracts in my coaching business”

“I trust my clients to do the right thing”

“My clients trust me to do the right thing”

“Contracts are only for business or corporate coaches”

“I know I should use a contract with my clients, but things have worked out so far”

Unfortunately, if you believe any of the above, you are setting yourself up for real trouble, because the truth is:

You DO need to use contracts in your coaching business!

Clients don’t always do the right things!

Having a contract where the roles and responsibilities are outlined and agreed to instills MORE confidence in you by your clients and protects your business!

Contracts are NOT just for business or corporate coaches, life coaches should also be utilizing client contracts!

If “things have worked out so far” – you’ve been lucky!

So do you REALLY need a coaching agreement?

Let’s face it, especially in the U.S., we live in a very litigious society and the more steps you take to protect yourself and your business, the better off you’ll be.

My intention is not to scare you, since the truth is there have been few formal legal actions taken against coaches. However, it’s just a matter of time.

The problem is since the coaching industry is unregulated and more and more professionals are using the title of “coach”, no coaching group, organization or association can control the actions of all the coaches out there, so…..

It’s up to you as an individual coach to ensure you are protecting not only yourself, but also your clients. The best way to do this is to be as professional as possible and that means using contracts!

The more you understand just how valuable this manual could be to your coaching business, the less you’ll think about delaying this important purchase!

"One word for this manual, 'WOW' – it is stunningly professional! Brenda Cody’s 'The Complete Contracts Manual Coaches' is a goldmine! The Coaching industry has got to get on board, universally, with the profound significance of having appropriate documentation and elegant protocols for our coaching businesses. Our lack of attention to these details will cost us dearly in credibility. In 'The Complete Contracts Manual for Coaches' Brenda highlights important distinctions in the Coaching industry. Among many other things, she discusses Corporate Coaching Contracts versus Life Coaching Contracts. For those of us who lean towards Life Coaching, it’s insightful and perhaps financially valuable to get a peek at what the Corporate Coaches are doing differently. For those who are Corporate Coaches, you can draw wisdom and not just a few ideas from the way Life Coaches are approaching their welcome package, forms and checklists, etc. I cannot overstate the value of this manual and life long resource. Thank you Brenda, for this contribution to our world!" -Anna Dargitz AnnaDargitz@earthlink.net

How this manual came to be:

About 10 years ago when I was first starting my coaching practice, I spent untold hours, days and weeks trying to figure out what I wanted to communicate to my clients, what I should communicate to them and how to say it. I couldn’t believe how long it took me!

There I was, a long time contracts professional and now a coach struggling to figure out how best to communicate contractual issues to my clients! And I asked myself this question: “If I’m struggling this much with this task, how are other Coaches responding to this challenge?”

As I mentioned earlier, this is the ONLY contracts manual written exclusively for coaches. It doesn’t matter if you are a new coach just starting out or an experienced coach – you will find value in reading and incorporating the information in this manual into your written agreements with your clients.

The fact is that coaching as a profession is still in its infancy and we have some very serious obstacles to face in our future. As a result, you MUST be committed to representing the coaching profession in the most professional manner possible…..

And that means using contracts correctly!

Here’s the bottom line:

The Complete Contracts Manual for Coaches includes everything you need to know to properly put together your client contracts.

Think about it for a minute. What would it be like to know you have provided your clients with a professional, properly written contract without worrying about what should be included?
